Hi Jenee, only just tripped over your message. There was a posting on the Yahoo Flood family group about this query by John Withers and I've copied and pasted it below:

With the curent enquiries concerning James Flood's mother I am posting
this summary on Anne Gorman as I see it. Any additional information is
welcome & I hope the typing turns out OK.
In August 1982 I was corresponding with Bill Gamage who had access to
his grandfather's papers while he (Bill) was writing the " Narrandera
Shire" book. Bill's Grandfather was the Editor of The Narrandera Argus
in the early years & Bill is an experienced researcher having gone on
to be a noted War Historian & Author. Bill advised me that he believed
Nancy Fitzgerald was an earlier "acquaintance" of Joseph Flood's & that
some of the older Flood children would have known of her & passed her
name down, however he got the impression & believed that Anne Gorman
was actually James's mother. I also believe that Anne Gorman had to be
the correct Mother and have relied on this Date Line to support my
belief given the shortage of information available.
1793 Anne tried in Dublin
1795 Gave birth to a son by William Quinn at sea

William Webster in Sydney
1797 It was stated that Joseph Flood was living with Anne
Gorman when he testified against persons alleged of
stealing from Governor Hunter's Household when Joseph
was a servant of the Governors
24/9/1797 John Flood was born (BDM says mother Ann Germaine)

1805-6 Muster lists Anne Gorman as living with Joseph Flood
1807 James Flood born
1808 12/9/1808 Joseph snr dies
1809 Anne refers to herself as Anne Flood when dealing with
Joseph's estate
1811 Anne listed as Anne Gorman widow
25/2/1811 Anne granted Certificate of Freedom
1814 22/8/1814 Anne died as Anne Flood
1818 11/8/1818 Anne Flood's son James recommended for the Male
Orphan's School

I hope all this will seem credible and will not raise more confusion
